BLOG TOUR: Seal of Destiny by Tracy Douglass

Plot Lines

Overcoming adversity. Opposites attract. Accidental soul mates.

These plotlines are some of my favorites when I read romance. I love a great story filled with awesome characters who stick with me well beyond The End. If a book has these qualities, I’m hooked.

One of my favorite authors is Jennifer Ashley. I LOVE her historical romances and devour them like fine chocolate. She has a knack for taking historical characters and situations and making them seem relevant for today. Her characters jump off the page and are people I’d like to hang out with—quite a feat for people who lived almost two hundred years ago. Her MacKenzies and Pirates Next Door series have filled my Kindle to the brim.

I admire anyone who can do all the research necessary to write historical novels of any genre. The time they put in to making their work accurate is a huge investment. I love to read them, but don’t have the courage or time necessary to write one. Not yet anyway. Maybe one day… :-)

Right now, my Scion warriors keep me plenty busy.

About the Author

Traci is the author of paranormal/urban fantasy and contemporary romances featuring a sly, urban edge, including her current Seven Seals series. Her stories feature sizzling alpha-male heroes full of dark humor, quick wits and major attitudes; smart, independent heroines who always give as good as they get; and scrumptiously evil villains who are—more often than not—bent on world destruction. She enjoys weaving ancient curses and mythology, modern science and old religion, and great dialogue together to build red-hot, sizzling chemistry between her main characters.

A storyteller since childhood, she began putting her tales down on paper in November 2011 after the idea for the Seven Seals Series occurred to her in a dream. She finished the first draft of what was to become Seal of Destiny in one month and decided to pursue a full-time writing career in January of 2012. Life has now been a rollercoaster, crash course in pursuing your dreams.

Traci is an active member of Romance Writers of America (RWA), Indiana Romance Writers of America (IRWA) and Fantasy, Futuristic & Paranormal Writers (FF&P) and is pursing a Masters of Fine Arts degree in Writing Popular Fiction through Seton Hill University. Her stories have made the final rounds in several RWA chapter contests, including the 2012 Duel on the Delta, the 2012 Molly Awards, and the 2012 Catherine Awards. An earlier draft of Seal of Destiny won the paranormal category of the 2012 Marlene Awards sponsored by the Washington Romance Writers.

Other current projects include upcoming books in the Seven Seals series and a new futuristic detective series with hints of the paranormal and plenty of romance.

Mira Herald is having the worst life ever. Not only is she plagued by horrific nightmares starring the Devil himself, she’s now the target of a power-hungry, rogue minion, freshly sprung from Hell and bent on her destruction. To complicate matters further, she’s acquired a stalker. One who insists he’s a divine warrior sent for her protection because she houses an ancient relic with the power to unleash Armageddon. Last time Mira checked, she wasn’t insane. Still, all this celestial mayhem is enough to drive a girl crazy.

Kagan is a member of the Scion, an elite team of immortal warriors selected by Divinity to aid mankind and save the world. After a century alone, Kagan is summoned for a new mission. He’s eager to begin. Eager until he’s informed his mission consists of protecting a woman with no clue to the power she wields. Plus, his briefing fails to prepare him for his new target’s cosmic-sized attitude problem. As Divinity’s sworn servant, he’s required to fulfill his duty. His oath, however, does not require him to be enthusiastic about his new assignment or warm-and-fuzzy toward his new compatriot. He plans a wham-bam rescue and a quick return to solitude.

The rogue minion attacks—with the backing of a mysterious organization—and all Hades erupts, putting a fast end to any whirlwind escapes. Accustomed to staunch independence, Mira’s survival now requires full cooperation and an unwavering belief in Kagan. The battle-hardened warrior is also forced to chose: between duty and desire. Amidst the turmoil, Kagan and Mira’s undeniable passion draws them closer to each other and down a path neither expected but both yearn for, more than they ever knew.

Will love save the day? The world’s fate depends on the answer.

Four star reviews will be exceedingly rare, and will be reserved for those books that truly and utterly dazzle me. Please do not be offended if you do not receive this, as some of my favorite books receive the three star rating, and even a one star rating still means I enjoyed the book!

Also, you'll notice I don't have any "bad" ratings. I won't post a bad review, just because I don't feel comfortable doing that to an author. I will however discuss it with the author (if available) to share my honest opinion.
